Staying Close to Home

When GMaps sent me a summary of my November ramblings, it was apparent that we hadn't rambled very far.


That map ↑ pretty much sums it up. It appears as though we confined ourselves to about 9km² or about 3.5mi². That's a rough estimate only, but we're all friends here so absolute precision doesn't matter too very much. Eh?

We did extend ourselves beyond those limits twice, once north and once east, but GMaps didn't pick up on it as it usually does. 

No wonder that I only have to fill up with gas once in a typical month – at least in a typical winter month, and November is darn close to winter hereabouts. 

Considering the price of gas, I guess that isn't a bad thing.

Roaming is certainly taking a back seat. Rising COVID cases, rising gas prices & of course rough weather, none of which makes a good mix for those leisurely wanders about.

The watchful eye of modern technology is not my favourite thing but I guess if we ever disappeared it would be helpful to searchers.

Ha, I didn't know that Google did that (also). There's a lot I still have to learn!

Hubby runs errands almost every day. He needs that for his sanity, but I do hate the waste of fuel and the carbon footprint. We do not travel far from home these days. I never heard of Gmaps. Maybe I will try it.

I don't go far from home either, and usually the bus takes me to town. I only need to fill my tank once a month or so, too. We are good for the environment!

Bindu said...

Work and home. then grocery shopping. that is all here as well

My car is pretty fuel efficient, since I get out most days, short trips, and fill up about once every three months!

We took a 250 mile drive on Friday. Had to get farther away then we had been going. Felt good. Pictures soon.

I'm sure mine would look very similar.

Well, any time you can save gas, it is a blessing. LOL.

Rita said...

Being housebound I have had many months with one dot--LOL! :)

That's a really good thing. With gas over 4 a gallon, staying home may get boring but it is economical.

My Strava map showed the opposite. :-) My cycle journeys totalled a hundred miles plus for November and it looks it will be similar in December.

Agree with you on November and winter. We've got an early and very cold (so far) winter here in London.

Greetings from London.

These days I confine myself to the city. Haven't been away since before Covid.

All my life I've never seen anything that works as fast as the Dr.Okosodo spell. I am from New Jersey and my name is Angela after contacting Dr.Okosodo so I started to believe the saying that every coin has two sides. When my lover abandoned me, he swore never to return to me, but thank God, through Dr. Okosodo's help, I have my lover back to me within 48 hours and I also want other people who are with the heart. party get in touch with Dr. Okosodo through these details below which are via email: ( Drokosodo647@gmail.com ) or via ( Whatsapp at +2349050443678 ), then you can see the wonders of Dr.Okosodo

Not being able to drive a car just yet (and not a clue as to how long that will take), I wonder if I need to fill up at all for the remainder of this year.
